I guess you could call the contents of this book, the sign of our times (*weak smile). It simultaneously feeds on expectation, fear and paranoia -- and because of this concoction, if you put yourself as a character in the book, the events in the story is believable.

It is really hard for a book to qualify for only one star from me. There are soooooo many things that cause it for this one. Not least: it's way too long. Finally, 7/8th of the way through, I just couldn't finish it.
